Patient's question:
Snores while sleeping, especially after a fever. Upon careful examination, there is adenoid hypertrophy (0.8). Not sure if it is caused by allergic rhinitis. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Did not take medication. What kind of assistance is possible: Can it be done without general anesthesia surgery...Doctor's answer:
Child development is not favorable. It is undeniable that general anesthesia can have some interference on children (especially during the period of intellectual development), but overall, current general anesthesia is relatively safe. Compared to the harm caused by the illness itself, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Removing the adenoids can indeed affect immune function, but some patients really have no choice but to have it done, for example, when it severely interferes with breathing. This is something you need to decide for yourself based on your situation. Whether the doctor suggests removal or not, both options are valid. I hope my response is helpful to you, and I am always willing to assist you with further consultations. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
